Answer 1

HMMM..THIS IS A TOUGHIE!!
you could make a colage...but if you dont want to ruin them with glue you could put all of em in a GIANT picture frame and put it on your wall....maybe buy some cute background paper to go with them, just hit up hobby lobby and im SURE you would find something! Photocopy them to make tons of em in case you screw uo...even though Val-Dizzlenever screws up!!!
and you cant go wrong with shawdow boxes!...or you could ask Pearl, im sure she would have some ideas!!

You could mat and frame them individually - like this:

Then group several on a wall together, maybe 4 in a row on a long wall, or an equal number top and bottom on a taller wall, like maybe over a couch. You could even stagger them going up a stairway.

You can get frames pretty cheap at places like IKEA - maybe just get plain black wooden ones. Look for ones that are a littler deeper or use clips to hold the backing in place because the playbills will take up more room than a regular photo. You can buy standard frames, then get custom cut mats to fit the playbills - that will be cheaper than getting a whole custom set up.

If you don't want to do a frame and mat, you could do clear acrylic shadowbox type frames like these: http://www.plazaart.com/images/847/mcs%20box%20frames%20group.jpg

You can also color photocopy your playbills and use them for a crafty project like decoupage or whatever, and keep the originals in a binder like this:

Playbill Frames

Answer 5

Sure, go buy a small basket, a couple of packs of barbque skewers and some florists foam. Also buy a book of garnishes. From the grocery buy: radishes for radish roses carrots (also a garnish flower) etc. blace the "flowers" on the ends of the skewers and make a boquet when you place the skewers in the florists foam, Stalks can be made from cellery, a lacy fring around the bottom of tho boquet could be cabbage, or red cabbage. line a bowl with red cabbage leaves and fill with ranch dressing as dip for your vegi boquet. You could do bread sticks in the shape of leaves and you could use food coloring to make the bread stick "leaves" green. etc. Buy the Garnish book first, they are all full of great ideas, and most are pretty easy to master.

Answer 6

Are there any small ones that would fit in a frame? If so, frame one, add small wooden pegs on the back of the frame for feet to sit on, and add handles to the top of the frame on the two longest sides, and use as a serving tray.
Or place one or more on a coffee table and cover with glass.
